Chapter 440: The Ancient Fishing Tribe 1/2
Located in the east of the Dragon Tribe, which can only be reached by boat for more than 20 days, there is a powerful tribe, they call themselves "Fishing Tribe", the language of the Dragon Tribe can be represented by "Fishing Tribe", the Fishing Tribe is a overlord-level tribe with a population of more than 10,000, not a faction or alliance or the like.
It is difficult to calculate the existence of the fishing tribe, at least 500 years, of course, it may be more than 1,000 years, anyway, it is a very old tribe, and at that time the fishing tribe had very few neighbors.
At first, the fishing tribe was only a miniature tribe living on the south bank of the Yellow River with a population of dozens of people, and the fishing tribe did not have a so-called tribal name at that time, and the fishing tribe people lived in caves, wrapped in animal skins or plant leaves, and lived by hunting and picking fruits.
The luck of the fishing tribe is very good, struggling to survive in the face of various natural and man-made disasters, and slowly, the population of the fishing tribe began to increase, from dozens to hundreds.
The population has reached a point where it is difficult to support the population growth of the fishing tribe by hunting and picking fruits in the area around the settlement, and even though the fishing tribe people have begun to dig wild vegetables and plant roots for food, the population of the fishing tribe is still increasing slowly, and sometimes the tribesmen eat poisonous plants and die.
Until that day, a young male man stood on the bank of the river and accidentally stabbed a large fish with a stone spear in his hand, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that the fish could be eaten, although the fish did not taste good, but as long as it could fill his stomach.
The young tribe's unexpected discovery shocked the whole tribe, and the fishing tribe obtained a new way of obtaining food, and this new way of obtaining food was more efficient than hunting to obtain food, and the fishing tribesmen finally did not need to live a life of hunger and fullness.
The young tribesmen who discovered the "fishing" were respected by the other tribesmen of the fishing tribe, and even the leader of the fishing tribe gave him the position of leader, and since then the fishing tribe has changed the rule that the strong person is the leader, and changed it to the "Zen concession system", and the position of the leader must be held by the tribesmen who have made great contributions to the fishing tribe.
Of course, no matter how great a woman's contribution is, she is not qualified to be a leader, and the women of the fishing tribe are still vassals of men.
The fishing tribe began to use fishing as the main way to obtain food, and the population growth rate increased greatly, at this time, the fishing tribe occasionally came into contact with its neighbors, and the fishing tribe called itself "fishing tribe", which is the origin of the name of the fishing tribe.
From the day they knew about fishing, it can also be said that from the day when the young tribesmen served as leaders, the fishing tribes entered the fast lane of development, and the fishing tribes paid more attention to invention and creation, weaving fishing nets with straw ropes, tying straw ropes with wooden sticks to make bows, firing pottery with clay, and tying wood with straw ropes to make wooden rows......
Whenever there is a creation in the Fishing Tribe that has a significant impact on the Fishing Clan, the creator will almost always become the next leader of the Fishing Clan.
I don't know how many years have passed, and the fishing tribe has become a hegemon-level tribe with a population of more than 10,000.
It should be noted that the fishing tribe has hardly waged wars against the outside world, and the tens of thousands of people that the fishing tribe now has are basically the result of natural growth, during which there are also blood exchanges with other tribes, and there are also small tribes who take the initiative to join the fishing tribe, and the weapons in the hands of the people of the fishing tribe are only used to hunt and defend against enemies.
A large settlement served as the center of the fishing tribe, living more than 4,000 people, fishing has become the secondary way of obtaining food for the fishing tribe, and agriculture has replaced the status of fishing in the past, and has become the main fishing method of the fishing tribe.
However, there is a limit to the amount of food that can be obtained from farming and fishing in an area, and there is also a limit to the number of people who can be fed.
Whenever the central settlement reached a certain number of people, the leader of the fishing tribe would move some of the people out of the residence and go to the nearby area to build a new small settlement, which would generally have a population of about 500 people.
The migration of the fishing tribe is like an idea of Su Yan, who once thought that when the population of a city is large enough, and the food needs of the city's residents cannot be met by farming and fishing, then some of the people should be moved to areas far away from the city and establish villages.
This idea has a lot to do with time and the extent of the farmland, people walk so fast, once the farmland is too far away, it takes a lot of time just to walk, and how to take care of the farmland, it is better to build a new place of residence far away from the city, and open up the farmland with the place of residence as the center.
Now that the Dragon Tribe has a carriage that can quickly send people to distant places, and the population of the Dragon Tribe is not large enough, Su Yan put down this idea, and the Fishing Tribe does not have a carriage, so it adopts a similar method to Su Yan.
There are still smart people, or the fishing tribe would not have appeared such "artifacts" as wooden boats and copper weapons, and the rough linen clothes have long since replaced the leaves, and only in the cold winter will they change into animal skin clothes.
In addition, the fishing tribe also has faith, and there are two, one belief is God, the belief in God is because people are in awe of nature, and the other is the ancestors, the fishing tribe people know that it is the efforts of the ancestors that make the fishing tribe so strong today.
When the third trading fleet of the dragon tribe unexpectedly came to the section of the river corresponding to the central residence of the fishing tribe, the dragon tribesmen were surprised by the wooden boats, copper weapons, sackcloth and other things of the fishing tribe, and the fishing tribesmen were also surprised and cautious by the sudden arrival of the dragon tribe fleet.
"What a big wooden boat!" "Is it an enemy?" Go and tell the chief. "Everyone is armed and ready to fight. ”
Seeing the arrival of the dragon tribe fleet, the fishing tribe wooden boat in the area near the Yellow River quickly rowed to the shore, and the fishing tribesmen on the shore also gathered one after another, clenched their weapons to guard against the dragon tribe fleet, and a few people quickly ran to the place of residence, wanting to tell the leader about the matter.
The Third Trade Fleet was getting closer and closer to the place where the crowd had gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Lu Yuan stood in the bow area of the head ship, looking at the place where the crowd had gathered, and Lu Yuan was thinking about whether the Third Trade Fleet should come into contact with this tribe with wooden ships and copper weapons.
It seems that the population of this tribe in front of him is quite large, but it must not be compared with the dragon tribe, after all, the total population of the dragon tribe has exceeded 40,000, but this tribe has wooden boats, copper weapons, which are only available in the dragon tribe, copper weapons are the main commodities of the dragon tribe's foreign trade, and contact with this tribe, I am afraid that the dragon tribe will not be able to trade anything with it.
Lu Yuan didn't think about why the tribe in front of him had wooden boats and copper weapons like other tribesmen, the dragon tribe could build wooden boats with manpower, smelt and cast copper weapons, and other tribes could also complete it, but it was very difficult to complete these two things, and the other tribes in contact with the dragon tribe couldn't complete it, obviously this tribe in front of him was very special.
"Let's try to get in touch, it's good to contact one more tribe, if they take the initiative to attack, then give up contact and leave." Lu Yuan made a decision in his heart, although the tribe in front of him had wooden boats, and it was possible to catch up with the wooden boats of the dragon tribe by relying on manpower, but the dragon tribe had strong bows and arrows, so there was no need to worry about being pursued by the enemy.
Nowadays, there are no spearmen in the field / war army and city defense army of the dragon tribe, all of them have been replaced by longbowmen, a warrior of the tun, half melee, half long-range, there are more than a hundred short archers and longbowmen on the third trade fleet, even if there are more than a thousand enemies at a time, the longbowmen and shortbowmen can easily repel the enemy by firing a few salvos.
